If we’re now going to start making calls based on what we see on TV, there are lots of penalties and hand-fouls that have gone uncalled for. So, tough luck, he added. While FIFA has opened a disciplinary case against Suarez, some the player’s sponsors were forced to take a stand in the matter. 888 Poker tweeted: Following recent allegations made against Luis Suárez , we are reviewing our relationship with him.
